I don't think you're wrong, but the inevitable conclusion to this is studios will hire less women. Nobody is actually shocked least of all the higher ups who are making public statements. They are just covering their own asses from the cancel mob. In the end though much like you will second...

I think the core lesson here is don’t fucking hire women lol!

Which is why I think they have a super solid foundation for a UO style game here. Remove the leveling system. Cap skills at 100, and let people pick 5-7 skills to max. You would have smiths with mining and maybe swordsmanship or magery. You'd have animal tamers with magery. You'd have tailors...

Right, and if you logged in and got a cloak of flames and everything else under the sun would you have played as long? Would you of given two fucks about dying if there wasn't experience loss and a corpse run? As you said people think they want this carefully curated experience, but really they...

No point even talking to you bro. You're still subscribing to the basic tenant that we should give players what they "think" they want. How has the worked out for any game? People need a challenge. They need things to aspire to. Did I ever get 100 animal taming in UO? Fuck no, but seeing a dude...

Yeah but the great thing about UO is that the items really didn't matter. A set of GM crafted weapons were +2 damage per hit and the absolute best item you could get is Vanquishing +5 damage per hit. The majority of PvP came down to timing combos, using boom boxes to get out of paralyze, etc...

I'm fucking telling you guys this could've been the ultimate sandbox experience. Did any of you play Ultima Online? This game should've had cartography, stealing, magery, healing, anatomy, etc. Skill caps so that you had to actively pick if you're a crafter, warrior, or what. This game is soooo...

Wow this game should've literally mirrored Ultima Onlines skill system. I cannot believe they didn't. Major oversight and beyond stupid that every character can do everything....

This shit happens with everything now and it's fucking ridiculous. I don't know who invented this business practice, but I hate it. It's the same shit with tires. Took my truck in because I ran over a nail and they are like yeah we can't patch it because it's too worn, so I ask what's the cost...

Yeah I get the jist, and will certainly give it a try, but again what makes that a good design decision vs. pretty much all the successful MMO's of years past?

Uhhhh aesthetics, preference, stats/itemization, utility (slow hard hitting vs fast soft hitting). I mean the list goes on. Do you think WoW would've been better if Kidney shot was tied to maces? Mortal Strike to swords? Ultima Online was a skill based game and there was quite a bit of weapon...

I haven't followed this game much, but I think weapons being tied to skills sucks ass. Why am I wrong?

No idea about PvP in Shadowlands, but I think PvP was very balanced and fun through WOTLK. Anyways I've always thought Blizzard should make a DOTA type battleground. Pick a class, farm your lane, level up, get gear, etc. Would give honor like any other battleground, isn't just a bunch of decked...

Blizzard really just needs to create a World Builder using the WoW engine just like map editor in WC3 and take 35% of the profits of everything made with it just like Apples app store.... Their engine is so much better than any other MMOs and we'd finally have some fresh content from passionate...

Any particular class we should shoot for? Seriously contemplating playing. Also you guys plan on raiding or what? I never really got to do the TBC raids so could be fun for a bit.

Nothing wrong at all if you have fun. I always found the allure of being in the race or having unique items fun especially in EQ. Neither of those seem all that attainable to me so not sure I’ll bother. Naive of me to think people would take longer than a day to hit max I guess… certainly wasn’t...

Wow already at Ghoul Lord. I have no idea why I’m even bothering haha. I can barley remember the basics of this game. Seems like by the time I hit 50 server will be absolutely flooded with every item.

LOL bro that's totally wrong. They weren't even hired until over half way through development. EQ had what 550K peak subs? You think the some odd ten million peak in WoW which is a far superior game in every way is because of a few dudes from EQ that maybe 1/4 of the population knew about? Sure...

Understand your frustration, but don't pretty much all appliance makers fucking suck now? I just had to replace the diverter valve on my dishwasher that's four years old because it's prone to failure apparently and leaks water all over the fucking place when it fails (ruining part of my hardwood...

Seriously.... I couldn't even bother reading it all, but he's definitely better off lol.

I bought a 2014 F250 for $21,900 with 40K miles. It's at 65K now and it's booking at $30,000.... Totally nuts!

I am a solo MSP. Money's awesome if you're good and can sell. If you get nervous meeting with teams of business leaders/owners or talk down to end users don't bother. Not going to do some extensive write up, but every interaction matters. I've met people years ago and casually mentioned to hit...

Wowzor. Granted I live in an area with zero natural disasters, but our house cost $595K and we are paying $650 a year.

Love me some D2, but I think we're definitely overdosing on nostalgia. I had multiple level 99's and the only rare rune I ever found was Jah which I promptly traded for a shit ton of SoJ's to purchase other gear with. As others have already pointed out without duping what is the currency? How...

The thought that insider trading isn't happening on a semi daily basis seems very hard to believe. Much like government cronyism I suspect it's just the norm until you piss of the wrong person and then they slap your hand.

At what point does WSB become the short seller lol? I think I'm a little too timid to try to catch a falling knife, but it's an easy 70% gain when this thing does fall if you short it at the right time.

This is so totally true. A lady yesterday in a beat up minivan heard me telling a buddy what was going down on the phone and promptly asked me if I was talking about Gamestop. I of course said yes to which she responded that she had just bought some at $220. While I love the laughs it did strike...

Despite the fact I never participated in any of these trades I just dropped another 3 K on a new gun, optic, 10 mags, and 1000 rounds ammo. Clown world is only going to get crazier until the hugs start lol.

Pre-market really doesn't mean a lot.

Precisely. How many Corrutped Ashbringers or Might of Menethils were there in Vanilla vs in WoW classic and Naxx has only been out what a month lol? Naxx was literally the guild killer between the difficulty and all the scrubs realizing they were fucked when raid sizes were reduced to 25...

Pretty much sums up both the conversation and game at this point. Pray Riot can make a decent mmo!

Oh yeah sure... I vividly remember browsing all the CT profiles with Edgemasters, etc... (Do you guys even know what CT profiles was?) I remember some fucking Gnome warrior doing 700 DPS on Patchwerk or something like that and EVERYONE checking out his gear which might I add had NO WEAPON skill...

You can embellish all you want bro. I have a feeling you weren't even around in Vanilla. Nobody was using + weapon skill. Not a single fucking raider in the world was server firsting anything with edgemasters lol. Must be a pretty fucking shit game now if you want chill with a controller. I take...

LoL. Aren't you the guy arguing a controller is just as effective? I won the Test of Honor (WoW) tabard when the fucking honor system was introduced. I was Gladiator the very first arena season ever. I was main tank for 90% of Vanilla and we were server first for EVERYTHING on our server... I...

Yeah cool sounds like moving goal posts. A fuck ton of poor people specced into fury/arms with enough in prot to get extra armor, defiance and a point in improved shield block. Not a fucking shocker, but you didn't see anyone running around with two 1 handers dual wield tanking EVER... Far as...

What a crock of shit. Can someone here show me a single fucking video of a dual wield fury tank in any of the 59 guilds that actually cleared Naxx Pre-BC. We cleared everything but 4 Horse, Saph, and KT which was more than most given how many guilds were dying off and our problem wasn't threat...

Right they've been over simplifying the game for years. Talents, abilities, itemization, etc. I realize in developer minds that it's a waste of time to code things that aren't necessarily "best", but much like in life a Ferrari is just another type of car it's rarity and uniqueness make it much...

Yet I long for the days of 2 items per boss 40/25 man raids.... Modern WoW I can't even tell who has what, and feel absolutely nothing when I get an item. The excitement I got when getting Drake Fang Talisman, Cataclysms Edge, etc., was far higher than getting the same item +10 item levels or...

Uhhh seems like you're over simplifying things. I mean Blizzard fucking had DOTA on their game for years as a custom map, and didn't realize its worth. Then made HOTS years after the fact which is basically third tier DOTA right now vs LOL and DOTA 2. Before WoW all they had made was ARPG and...

This is how I feel whenever I resub. So many procs now and short cooldowns. Feels like I'm playing wack-a-mole instead of actually thinking, but maybe I'm just too old for this shit.
